Privacy Policy

Here you'll find information about our commitment to ensuring the privacy of your personal information, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or other identifying information.

Our site may contain links to other sites that are not managed or maintained by TLC. The inclusion of a link to another site from TLC does not imply any endorsement of that site's privacy policies, practices or content. Your dealings with these sites are covered only by the privacy policies listed on those sites.

Why does TLC ask for my information?

In order to participate in some activities, such as our forum, you might be asked to provide some personal information.

What information does TLC collect?

We do not collect personal information from our visitors other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis.

Does TLC use cookies?

Yes, we use cookies for a variety of purposes.

A "cookie" is a tiny element of data that our site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive.

Cookies that are sent to your browser by our site are only readable by TLC and are never shared with any other site.

If you are concerned about your privacy and the use of cookie technology on TLC you may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. You may also set your browser to refuse the cookies our site attempts to send you. Should you decide not to accept cookies from TLC you may limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our site.

How will TLC use the information I provide?

We will always explain the extent of its use at the time you are asked to provide personal information. If you do not want this information to be collected or used by us for these purposes, you can simply "opt out." Under certain circumstances, opting out may prevent your participation in activities for which personal information is needed, such as the subscription to the TLC newsletter.

Does TLC rent, share, sell or trade my information?

TLC does not rent, share, sell or trade supporter e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. In addition, we do not rent, share, sell or trade information about what activities or donations supporters have undertaken on our web site.

If you are not a TLC member and you have provided personal contact information on our Web site by signing up for a list, or sending us feedback, your information WILL NOT BE RENTED, SHARED, SOLD, TRADED OR EXCHANGED.

Can I change the information I have given to TLC?

If you are a TLC member you can update your account information through one of the following methods:

1. Send correspondence to the following postal address:
   
   The Land Connection
   1227 Dodge Ave., Suite 200
   Evanston, IL 60202
   
   
2. Call us at (847) 570.0701
   
   
3. E-mail us via our contact form

You can change the information associated with your online subscription(s) by visiting our subscription center. You will need to know your username and password in order to access your account.

How do I know my credit card information is secure?

Wherever you might enter your credit card information on our site, TLC uses secure server software (SSL) that is the industry standard and is among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. You can view our security certificate by clicking on the security certificate logo at the bottom of our donation page.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. In the event of an unauthorized charge to your credit card you must:

1. Write to the creditor at the address given for "billing inquiries," not the address for sending your payments, and include your name, address, account number and a description of the billing error.
   
   
2. Send your letter so that it reaches the creditor within 60 days after the first bill containing the error was mailed to you.

What do I do if I have questions that aren't answered here?

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site or your dealings with this web site, please contact us.
